Yet, As Wang surveys her tiny shoes, cocking her head from side to side, it’s clear she’s proud of her little feet. “There’s not a single other woman in Liuyicun who could fit their feet into my shoes,” she says. “When my generation dies, people won’t be able to see bound feet, even if they want to. ” — Lauren Tobin
